I Was Stranded on a Deserted Island with a Beautiful Classmate - Chapter 56

Everyone’s sharp eyes focused on me as they closed in.

I had a strong sense that they were about to attack me.

Normally, a guy would be thrilled by this situation, but…I felt an overwhelming fear.

“W-wait! Wait, everyone!!”

I tried to stop them, but the girls all jumped on me at once. It was chaos. Surrounded by their softness, my face turned bright red, almost enough to make my nose bleed.

W-w-what is happening—?!

They crowded around me so tightly, it was like being crushed in a packed train. I was spinning from the pressure.

This is bad. I’m suffocating…I might pass out…Ugh.

“Hey, everyone! Hayasaka-kun looks like he’s suffering. Back off!”

In the midst of this, Mana’s voice stopped them.

Thanks to her, everyone froze. Nice save, Mana!

“…Phew.”

“Oh, sorry.”

Nomo, Sasayama, and Ootsuka moved away.

And then, Kitakami too.

And finally, even Kotobuki, who had sneakily clung to me. You too, huh…

“Phew, you saved me, Mana.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. But, Nomo-san, Sasayama-san, Ootsuka-san…why are you all after Hayasaka-kun?”

Mana asked what I had been wondering. It was strange. I’m just a total loner—level 99—so why were these girls paying attention to me?

Nomo-san was the first to answer.

“Well, Hayasaka-kun’s the only boy here. I want a boyfriend.”

That was a surprisingly simple reason.

Nomo-san, the girl with braids, seemed more aggressive than her first impression suggested. She also had a pretty good figure. Her chest was modest, but those thick thighs were incredibly appealing.

Next, Sasayama spoke bluntly.

“I want to have kids.”

Her words froze the atmosphere.

Now that I think about it, she had said strange things sometimes. It was Sasayama after all. She had a plain, motherly vibe, like she would let you be spoiled by her. Despite her baby face.

…Lastly, it was Ootsuka’s turn.

Mana cleared her throat and asked Ootsuka.

“Tell us, Ootsuka-san.”

“W-well…I fell in love with him. What’s wrong with that?”

Ootsuka’s face turned bright red.

S-so that’s it? I was shocked. The calm, gentle Ootsuka was in love with me…? No way. I didn’t think I matched with someone like her…well, not that Mana made any sense either.

“S-so that’s it. But you know, I’m the same.”

“Mana…”

“I like Hayasaka-kun too!”

Mana declared boldly.

I didn’t expect her to say it in front of everyone.

Maybe she just wanted to make it clear.

But one person couldn’t remain silent in this situation.

Of course, it was Kitakami.

“I object! Mana-san, everyone. Tetsu-kun is mine. We’re already dating, and we’ve even spent a special night together.”

“““““What!?”””””

Even Kotobuki was shocked.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

A special night…!?

Sure, we took a bath together in that oil drum, but that’s what she’s talking about, right!?

“What is the meaning of this, Hayasaka-kun!?”

“M-Mana…calm down. Your face is too close!”

“I can’t calm down! Did you and Kitakami-san really do it!?”

“Huh!? Mana, what are you talking about, with your face all red?”

“…Ugh. I-I…don’t make me say it, idiot!!”

She got mad at me for some reason.

I know what she’s implying, but…it’s a misunderstanding! Kitakami and I only bathed together! Nothing else!

“Everyone, Kitakami and I aren’t dating—whoa!!”

Suddenly, a knife was coming right at my chest!

I dodged just in time. Whoa…I seriously thought I was going to die!

“Tetsu-kun, if you say any more…I will end you!”

“Eep…I-I get it! I won’t say anything, so please put the knife away!”

“That’s more like it.”

At this rate, I’m going to run out of lives. I have a feeling Kitakami is going to kill me one day. I hope it’s just my imagination…

“Everyone, for now, finding Yaegashi-san and Ooi-san is the priority. Right?”

I looked at each of them one by one, and they all calmed down and agreed.

So, I should’ve taken the lead from the start, huh.

Maybe I should try to show a little more leadership…though I’m really not that type.

＊　＊　＊

Finally, we set out from the beach and began searching for Yaegashi and the others.

“It’s better if we split into groups of three or four, instead of everyone searching together.”

Right now, it’s me, Mana, Kitakami, Kotobuki, Sasayama, Nomo, and Ootsuka. As always, we used rock-paper-scissors to divide the teams.

After quickly deciding—

Team A: Hayasaka, Kitakami, Sasayama

Team B: Mana, Kotobuki, Nomo, Ootsuka

That’s how the teams turned out.

“No way…Hayasaka-kun.”

“Don’t give me those puppy eyes, Mana. It can’t be helped.”

“…Don’t do anything weird with the other girls. Especially be careful around Kitakami-san.”

She whispered into my ear.

“You’re overthinking it. I’ll be fine.”

“I’m really worried though…”

We headed toward the rocky area.

Meanwhile, Mana’s team would search along the shore.

“Kitakami-san, Sasayama-san, let’s do our best.”

“Yes, let’s work hard together, Tetsu-kun.”

“I’ll do my best too!”

Both of them immediately linked their arms with mine.

W-why are they doing this!?

It’s like having a flower in each hand, but this is…too close. Way too close. I could feel their chests touching my arms…I think.

I was too nervous to enjoy the sensation.

“K-Kitakami-san, Sasayama-san, y-you’re too close!”

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll keep you company, Tetsu-kun.”

They squeezed tighter, and my head was about to explode.

“K-Kitakami-saaan!?”

“You’re reacting well, Tetsu-kun. Heh…”

Stop with the “heh”!!

Then Sasayama boldly pressed my arm into her cleavage!!

Ah…

Ah…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

“Hayasaka-kun, you try to act cool, but your face is completely red.”

“…………” (←Shaking uncontrollably from being squeezed by both of them.)

This deserted island…is something else…
